CompleteTV, Simply Global TV deliver hybrid DTT/IPTV

[BGonaSTICK]

IPTV technology specialist CompleteTV is teaming up with IPTV set-top box platform provider Simply Global TV to provide a hybrid IPTV and Freeview service which is independent of the customer’s ISP.

CompleteTV will supply its Set Top Media Center (STMC) to Simply Global TV for its new service, which launches imminently. The STMC integrates IPTV channels with Freeview (DVB-T) channels into a single customer experience, with support for recording and pausing live TV. The service combines mainstream IPTV content with specialist programming focused on specific ethnic communities.

Philip Smith, Chief Marketing Officer, CompleteTV said the work the pair had carried out addressed their combined vision of a seamless TV experience, "combining IPTV over the public Internet with Freeview broadcast services. IPTV over the public Internet truly is the future, and the work we have done with Simply on advanced buffering and integrated services demonstrates the potential of such services."
